Walnuts - unsalted

Pistachios - unsalted - good luck finding these easily

Hazelnuts - unsalted

Nut butters - unsalted

fresh veggies - no spinach

fresh fruits

Pasta with no salt or eggs

potatoes

Cereal -

cream of wheat

Oatmeal

Sorbet - natural, not colors or salt added

7-Up

Honey

Apple sauce

Unsalted Matzo crackers

“Butter” - if made with olive oil and no salt

    How did you find almond milk without carageenan and sea salt?

    Easy. Silk Pure Almond does not have carageenan. Salt content I can't remember off the top of my head. I actually ended up using hemp milk more than the almond. But almond milk is very easy to make yourself if you can't find something you like in your area.

    My doctors instructions were to hit the high points of the low iodine diet. He said not to get overly obsessed with it, and to remember that it is a "low" not a "no" iodine diet.

    Silk Pure Almond is made with sea salt. A no-no on LID since anything from the sea tends to be high. So no Silk Pure Almond (sea salt), no Almond Breeze (carageenan).

    Guess I will go back to my oatmeal with apple cider :)

    Thanks

    1/2 cup twice a week was not enough of an issue for my doctor to be concerned and gave comfort during a trying enough time and if that's the only thing that was a "cheat" I'm not going to sweat it.

    I made "chocolate milk" in my blender. 1 banana, 8 Oz cold water, cup of crushed ice, 1 tbs cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1/4 top vanilla. Yummy
